“We had a really lovely stay.”

Made easier by easy communications prior to our weekend. Having a contact for the owners was really helpful - not that it was required - but it made it easy to ask any questions should we have needed to do so.

“We have stayed in a lot of cottages over the years.”

We where very disappointed in this house.We stayed in the property over Christmas, we arrived ready to celebrate Christmas, the top of the cooker was dirty, the out side bin was full to the top of rubbish (The owners removed the rubbish the same day). The blinds in the master bedroom did not close. The boiler keeped cutting out and needed re booting so we would wake up cold with no hot water. On arrival the house smelt very musty. And the mulcher toilet smelt all the time. We where all very disappointed with this house . I think sky cottages shud check the cottages that you advertise.

“Fantastic house with great facilities and exceptional views.”

“Amazing period house with several gorgeous views out over the sea.”

Deceptive in size! Property was very well equipped (especially in the Kitchen) and clean. Only a small front garden however and a shared yard out the back - situated on a deceptively busy road and only road parking so beware.
Also some issues with the boiler but they were hopefully resolved.

“This is our fifth year running using Sykes cottages!”

Every year gets better, and the captains house was a particularly great find. Not only was the house big enough to accommodate 8 adults it also had stunning views, is in a beautiful location and had all you would need to have a fabulous week in Cornwall . Even on a dull day the views were enough to keep us enchanted ! We are already making plans to return next year...

“Boiler needs attention.”

Patio could do with a tidy up. But all in all a very well equipped and clean property. Pleasantly surprised when we entered the house as the row of houses looked a bit shabby but we soon found out that most of them are being refurbished.

“The house is beautiful and in a brilliant location.”

We've had a fabulous holiday and will be back!

“The views of the sea were stunning!”

“Perfect Pet Friendly house and local beach”

Welcoming family home.
Nice house and all that you need for a nice family break.
Kept my Yorkshire busy up and down the stairs
We had no problems with parking outside the house x 2 vehicles
Beach is a short walk away. Places to eat in the area The Blue Plate and worth a trip to Seaton to the Wave Bar.
Only negative would be the patio area needs some attention I.e weeding etc we also couldn't use barbecue as it hadn't been cleaned.

“Excellent family home”

We have recently returned from a relaxing holiday at this excellent family home. Set over several floors in has everything you could want, from quirky old furniture to modern kitchen appliances.
The house has great sea views. The lounge is on the third floor to make the most of the views.
The down side to the house is all the stairs. It would not be suitable for people who have problems with stairs. Also there is very limited parking outside the property and the road is marrow. The town car park is only a short walk away and I would recommend that. Those are the only minor problems but I would go back another time.

About the location

DOWNDERRY

Downderry is a small quiet coastal village situated in south east Cornwall. Downderry has a sheltered beach, Post Office and shop, deli, and a cliff top pub and an excellent restaurant, serving quality local food. At low tide it is possible to walk along the beach from Downderry to Seaton, where you will find a family friendly south facing beach and the nearby Seaton Valley Countryside Park and Nature reserve is home to wildlife, including otters and kingfishers and also offers great cycling and walking opportunities. The picturesque working harbours at Looe and Polperro are within an easy driving distance away, and the wonderful stretches of the South West Coast Path in this part of Cornwall take you to rocky coves, dramatic headlands and tales of shipwrecks and smugglers. Further afield is Plymouth, where you will find plenty to see and do, including a marine aquarium, a theatre, large shopping centres and the historic Barbican waterside area.
